One effective way for the PNSN to serve the public as well as educate future scientists is to hire UW undergraduates to assist PNSN operations. We have many more applicants than available funds.
Recent undergraduate projects have included
1. Finding sites and deploying our latest Netquakes strong-motion seismometers across the Puget Sound.
2. Documenting the strong motion instrumentation in Portland, working with local City and State officials.
3. Aiding installation of instruments on regional volcanoes and in wilderness.
4. Presenting numerous talks and demonstrations for schools, clubs, and conferences.
5. Maintaining and updating information on web pages.
Your donations, simply collected by the web link below, can help expand these activities.
